I have just read the excellent article by Kevin after reading the comments I noticed that this was all about 20 years old is there any updated procedures and materials that have been developed over the last 20 years I have removed all my wood and will be starting to refurb it shortly

Interested to learn how you get on! My 'new' traveller came with the back end removed and with a brand new set of wood work plus the roof and lots of bits which I need to find the purpose of!
I am wondering if I should fit it bit by bit or assemble the complete rear with roof and fit it as a unit. Certain bolts could be loose fitted for final adjustment.
That's all someway off as there is plenty of work to do with spring hangers etc but I will spend some time playing with the jigsaw of bits, scratching of head and finding what I am missing!

I haven't done this job myself, though I expect to re-wood my Traveller in the next year or so.
In my research, I have learned that in the factory, the woodwork was fully assembled before being fitted to the metal bodywork. There are pictures on this site.
An important piece of info I have to offer is that the metal must be fettled to fit the woodwork, not the other way around (assuming your woodwork is from an expert manufacturer).
